Annual meetings
GENECO arranges two annual meetings, a Winter and a Summer meeting, on selected topics where the you get the opportunity to interact with invited speakers, gain novel skills and learn more about career possibilities inside and outside Academia. We have been very fortunate and have been able to attract top-ranked international researchers within genomic ecology to these meetings.
The Summer Meetings are held at the end of the summer and they are 1.5-day events inclusive of an overnight stay.
The Winter Meetings are held in Lund at the beginning of February and they are single-day events.
Summer meeting 2021 – online
We have now set the dates for our GENECO summer meeting: Thursday 26 and Friday 27 August. The main talks will be held digitally on 26 August.
